Red:
Did you like ET? You did right, so totally see this movie because it is definitely just ET. Except you know, similar in a way that is completely hideous. Also ET had a big successful sponsorship, so lets get some sponsors and tell them they can sponsor our ET movie. Honestly, they actually went kind of big, Coke put some money in here and McDonald's threw in an entire commercial. The McDonald's commercial honestly had an impressive amount of choreography and probably had more effort put into a few minutes than the entire rest of the movie combined.

Evillord:
This one really bored the pants off me. The aliens were very ugly and very naked looking. It ruthlessly ripped off every single aspect from E.T. but did it as incompetently as possible. The highly choreographed dancing at McDonald's was probably the highlight. The protagonist being a kid in a wheelchair was nice, if only the treatment of it wasn't for such a ruthlessly terrible and derivative film. Exceptionally poor child acting. It is funny that the film ends with the aliens taking the pledge of allegiance and becoming citizens of the USA.

Johnbobb:
"shitty nearly two hour commercial with terrifyingly bad prosthetics and a direct ripoff of the Back to the Future score. Hated every kid almost as much as I hated those ugly alien shits. There is not an original idea in this movie. Why are we here

Favorite 5 star Letterboxd review:
As a God-fearing Baptist man, I keep my household away from the Satanic influences of modern media. I was absolutely sickened when I discovered that my sons homeschool co-op group had led him away from God, and into the arms of Satan by showing him the film, Mac and Me (Raffill, 1988). I immediately withdrew him from the program and reported the co-op to the Southern Baptist Church Commission. I prayed long and hard as I fasted for 4 weeks, searching for answers and begging the Lord to forgive my son. Due to the Soul-crushing guilt I experienced for entrusting my son in the arms of sinners, I contemplated Mans worst sin: su!c!de. As I sat outside the co-op, fully-automatic AK 47 in hand, I was called on by the Lord. I felt his hot breath on my neck, and my heart raced, my toes curled. It felt as though the Lord had lifted me up with his big, strong arms and pushed against me tightly. His soft lips traced my ear as he whispered, Mac and me I felt a warm explosion. I knew what had to be done. I sped off to the local Blockbuster, somewhere I hadnt been since I was a wee boy. My father would take me after he beat me in his alcoholic rages. I glanced out the rearview mirror, and saw the local Blockbuster bathed in the Lords sweet, creamy light. It was time. I walked in and realized that I had left my wallet. But as Jesus always says, Your Word is a lamp for my feet. My toes wiggled in anticipation. I pointed my fully-automatic AK 47 at the cashier, and he handed over the 1988 film, Mac and Me. I wanted to fall to my knees with utmost gratitude, but the stench of urine was so powerful that I had to immediately depart. For that, I repent.
I instructed my wife to prepare my TV dinner for this occasion. I took a bite. Ice cold. I removed my belt and beat my hore wife. My pants started to slip down, and again I felt the Lords presence. I slipped in the VCR tape, and it fit in effortlessly. I gasped. As I heard the first few notes of the intro score, a soft moan escaped my lips. And when I first rested my eyes on Mac my anticipation reached its climax.
I cant even begin to explain the joy this film has brought into my life. I felt the thrust of the Lords love throughout every scene, entering me rhythmically. It started as a gentle pulse, but as the film progressed, I felt His love grow inside me. By the time the credits rolled, I was breathless in exhilaration. I ran to my son to apologize, for something influenced by Satan could never imbibe so much pleasure. It is clear that God came to me in this film. ;)"
